Low Carb Chicken Tortilla Soup

As the temperatures are winding down finally, I’ve been making more stews and soups to keep us warm and for that touch of comfort that comes with curling up on the sofa, under a blanket and with a mug of warm soup on your lap. I’m planning to have this low carb chicken tortilla soup and my keto chili recipe on heavy rotation this fall and winter!

I prepare low carb tortilla chips using Cut Da Carb flatbread fried in avocado oil. For this low carb chicken tortilla soup, I like to cut them into little strips that I sprinkle on top of the soup when serving and also have bigger chip wedges on the side to dip in the deliciously spicy broth. You can also make low carb tortilla chips using any low carb tortilla, but I find the Cut Da Carb options are better for staying truly keto. I always have a pack of their flatbreads in my fridge – and a backup in the freezer too!

The avocado topping is also essential to make this authentic and adds some of those good, healthy fats that we need – plus is just so delicious. I usually use a whole diced avocado and lots of cilantro and queso fresco on tip along with a dollop of sour cream. Yum!
